Obviously the fore part 13 of the plane will require but slight upwardmovement to give any practical thickness of shaving required, and when so adjusted the two parts of the plane will be on two distinct levels, the i'orward part 15 being by the thickness of the required shaving higher than the rear part A. The plane so adjusted will be found to give an absolutely smooth and true out, for during the progress of the cutting both parts of the plane .13 and A bear perfectly true and flat upon the surface being: planed, the part 13 traveling at its own level in front of the cutting-blade and the part A traveling at its own distinct level behind the cutting-blade after the cutting-blade has removed from the surface of the article being planed the requ'ired thickness of material.

I ela'nn 1. The divided plane above deseribednnade up of a rear part having ways formed at its forward end; a fore part having rearward portions engaging and moving upon these ways; a sere\v-a'nd-nut device mounted at the front end of the rear part; and a eonneetion between the serew-and-nut device and the fore part, whereby the vertical adjust-- ment of the [ore part, with regard to the rear part, may be set-aired and controlled.
